Inter-Collegiate Ball Not U. C. L. A. Affair.
We Are Helping, Not Competing.
Appeal is Social Rather Than Official.
Today is the day! Once again we have come to the season of handshakes and renewing of long-forgotten friendships. From all outward signs this election is to be a quieter one and cleaner than some the campus has been through. Even so a last word to "the dear public” is in place. The way to have clean campaigns is to have those people whose votes are being appealed to squelch on sight any attempt of the politicians to befog the issue. There will always be just as much negative campaigning and just as much mud-slinging and ballyhoo as the voters will stand for. When they rebel, the monkey business will stop.
* * *
A second meeting was held yesterday at which the plans for the Inter-Collegiate Ball Saturday night were discussed. At this time it was learned that the affair is not being sponsored by the University of California in Los Angeles, but by the U. C. L. A. Masonic Club. In that case the appeal to Southern California to help a sister institution is not quite clear, especially as the building may not be on the campus proper. It would seem that as a student body we may very well allow our own Masonic club, Square and Compass, to promote the dance and sell tickets on our campus. But it isn’t quite fair to urge students in general to spend their money on the strength of an appeal which leads them to believe they are doing it directly for a sister institution.
* * *
The idea has gotten around that Southern California and U. C. L. A. are in competition to see who can sell the most tickets. That is an erroneous idea. .We could not afford to enter such a race because, no matter how fine our spirit in helping our friends get a new building, we could not possibly have the impetus that they have and therefore would inevitably make a poorer showing. But as far as the public is concerned the publicity would stand that we had been defeated in the contest.
* * *
It has been suggested that various students visit the fraternity houses here and sell tickets. Our own student administration has generously given the Inter-Collegiate Ball committee this permission. But fraternity men who buy should do so because they want to attend the dance, not because they are under the delusion that they are aiding their institution ;n a competitive proposition.
With the concrete foundation nearly completed, and the work on the superstructure to begin immediately, the Men’s Residence Hall will be ready for occupancy by the fall semester. The new building was started about three weeks ago and is located on 36th Place, back of the Y. M. C. A.
The architecture is to be on the same order as that of the Women’s Residence Hail, and the building will hold approximately 150 men. The dining hall, however, is to be in the basement, this being a new feature of the more recently constructed college and university dormitories. There will also be a large drawing room across the. fxpnt of the main

floor.
The structure will cost about $200,-
000, and will contain many new dormitory features. The men will be charged $45 a month, which includes room and three meads a day with no extra charge for week-end and vacation meals.
The Men’s Residence Hall will supply a long felt need on the S. C. campus, in that it will house nonfraternity men, who have heretofore been living in various boarding houses. The men will be subject to rules and regulations set down for them by the administration, similar to those which the sorority and dormitory girls are now observing.
“She Stoops to Conquer,” a comedy by Oliver Goldsmith, will be presented in Touchstone Theatre, Wednesday, May 25, at 8:00 p.m., by the lb freshmen English classes. This is the first time that the lower division English classes have given a play.
Those who are to portray the principal characters are, Lois Eby, Edith. Hughes, Arthur Brearly, and Gibson Pleasants. It is being directed by Professor Robert H. Newlands, of the English department. He has just signed a c’ontract with the Universal Pictures Corporation to assist as technical director in the production of Victor Hugo’s “The Man Who Laughs.”
Music between the acts will be played by an orchestra under the direction of Hal Roberts, head of the musical organization departments.

Today is the day when the majority of students are given the opportunity to participate in the exercise of student self-government. A serious responsibility rests on every Trojan to select those for his student officers who have ability, experience and initiative. Let us see if we cannot turn out, in this election, the largest vote ever polled in the history of the University, larger ,ven than the record votes cast in the recent elections at other coast universities.
